I don't know what is sadder, that you thought to share that, or that I'm entertained that you shared that

No it's a post box.
It's an example of Yarn bombing , local groups knit stuff and cover things like top of post boxers or other street furniture. Common at Christmas and around time of Remembrance Day.
A good place to see it is Pickering they have a very active group

Not when you have been waiting for something having expected to get it on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Raining heavily was not a good sound when I realised I was out of oranges. However by the time I set off it had lightened so the idea of going to Asda with its covered car park abandoned for Sainsbury's instead. Turned our to be a good choice as a reduced personal price offer on iced buns was for once used as they actually had them in stock.
Ocado meanwhile have refunded three packs of cereals I mistakenly ordered thinking they were free from. Not had any emailed response from them, I assume they want them back.

(Extra large) van packed full for son no. 2's move to Brampton tomorrow. And that's not everything - he's leaving several bikes plus other stuff here.
Given the house is already half-furnished from previous visits just how can a 21 year-old accumulate so much?

A postbox and the knitted covers first appeared during the pandemic years. Not every box has one, and they usually have a QR code linking to a local charity
Working week completed with my usual half day on a Friday. My manager has felt the need to remind us yet again that we cost her her bonus, and she won't be able to buy her daughter whatever it was that she wanted for Christmas. Are we supposed to feel guilty...
The weather was truly awful this afternoon. I did something unusual for me and did some browsing around the shops. I have decided I should buy some new clothes soon as my good shirts aren't really good any more.
The shops have mostly been taken over by the Bah! Humbug season anyway. I see Next have got a new range of what I'd describe as Ronnie Corbett jumpers.
Maybe I should consult Accy on these matters.
Now listening to the Friday night concert on the radio.

A mixed bag weatherwise here chez Casa Reynard. Hard frost early doors, then the clouds rolled in, and by teatime it was hosing it down and blowing a hoolie.
Slept well enough. Another busy morning chores wise. All the usual, but I also cleared up some unneeded storage crates from the hallway, swept the floor and returned the crates to base - one to the utility room, the remainder to the garage. Also cleared up the temporary litter tray, as Madam is no longer in need of it. That also led to the hand washing of the re-usable puppy pad it was on, and a sweeping of the carpet nearby.
A lovely luncheon of tuna & sweetcorn mayonnaise on toast, plus an apple, a tangerine and a
Topped up all the house wood bins again, and then it was off into town for a spot of shopping. Waitrose drew a blank on what I'd wanted, but I did manage to pick up their freebie newspaper. B&M yielded the cat toys I need for assorted feline gifting and an extra bag of cat litter. I also bought a catnip toy for Madam in the shape of a gherkin with a santa hat on, and managed to find another pair of fleecy jimjams in my size, so I bought those for myself.
Thence to Tesco to do the grocery shop. I hadn't done a full shop for three weeks on account of wanting to run down the contents of the fridge and freezer, so quite a bit was needed. Also some additional comestible gifts were acquired (human, feline and canine). Not a lot to be had on yellow sticker, but I still managed to pick up some posh crusty rolls from the bakery, a large tub of coleslaw and a "finest" continental cheese selection box.
The latter was knocked down to half price, which actually made it decent value, and cheaper per kilo than the individual fancy cheeses. So that's the Christmas cheeseboard sorted - there's a sheep's milk cheese with truffle, a fancy brie, a piece of montagnolo and a nice chunk of gruyere. All I need is some wensleydale with cranberries and I'm good on cheese. Besides, I've stilton in the freezer and there's always decent cheddar knocking around.
A nice supper of soup and a sandwich with the last of the chicken, stuffing and craberry sauce.
Snooker has been watched, and I am sat by the fire in the company of the cat.
